Some quotes

Alan Hansen

"I am totally distraught. I've been watching football for over 50 years, the high point was the Brazil team 1970, this is the low point.

"To be in Brazil to see them capitulate in that manner, you have to give Germany credit but that is a woeful, woeful performance that could not get any lower.


Peter Gaunt:�*Barnsley fans sang "it's just like watching Brazil". Now Brazil fans sing "it's just like watching Barnsley....reserves"

What the hell happened.

That was just.... wow... I was going to say shambolic but don't know if that's even a strong enough word for how bad Brazil were. Is there one?
 
Alan Hansen, the only man who can make me side with Shearer in an argument....

That's funny, as I thought the opposite. AH is a very good pundit and he will be sadly missed on MOTD. AS is a complete half-wit with no insight into the tactical side of the game whatsoever. His 'expert' contributions make me long for Garth Crooks they're so bad.

At HT, AH was trying to make it clear that the performance was all about a defensive implosion from Brazil and AS was trying to make out that Germany were somehow playing magnificently. Germany was very average, as they have been throughout the tournament. Brazil lost it completely in one of the most humiliating spells of football I've ever witnessed and Germany simply passed the ball through them.

Average? Get a grip

The Germans got it right. Brazil were out to try and pass it about in the midfield and the Germans put constant pressure on them. They were found out and had no plan B just like Pea Son.

O'Neill just mentioned his decision to bring on Spider in the pre match build up after Cannavaro criticised the decision to change the goalie for penalties.
 
At least there are two teams in the game today. But not as entertaining as yesterday. Yet.
 
Argentina can continue their gameplan in the 2nd half.....with the same number/type of chances created, they should score.
Holland need to up their offensive ang get Robben more into the game.
 
First game ever to finish 0-0 after penalties at this rate.
